Wildlife Wonder

Join us to explore and celebrate the diverse styles of Native American art! We honor Native cultures through hands-on activities and traditional crafts. We learn techniques such as weaving, quillwork, ceramics, and beading, and create our own art using materials like clay, beads, paint, and yarn. This is a chance to discover the rich cultural traditions that shape this land and help keep these beautiful arts alive!

Uncover the hidden shapes that make our world magical! In this imaginative workshop, we dive into the amazing connection between math and art, exploring spirals, waves, and repeating patterns found in nature and design. We draw colorful Fibonacci spirals inspired by seashells and sunflowers, experiment with balance and harmony through golden ratio collages, and print bold patterns using stamps and natural objects. We paint branching fractal forests, design playful tessellations that fit together like puzzles, and create swirling ripple paintings that capture the motion of water and sound. From simple shapes to dazzling designs, we discover how geometry sparks creativity. At the end of the week, we take home a collection of vibrant artworks that show math isn’t just numbers—it’s living, moving art!

In this workshop, every participant creates at least one small, fully realized video game using Scratch, an inviting and playful programming platform perfect for exploration and experimentation. Our approach is inclusive, welcoming, and fast-paced as we delve into game design within an artistic context. Through a blend of hands-on demonstrations and creative prompts, participants are encouraged to tinker, explore, and craft their own games, complete with original characters and stories. Thisworkshop is open to all skill levels including beginners. Se habla español, and all are welcome!
